The Origins of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism

Feminism is centered around the idea of creating equality between all men and women on all platforms, but some people who identify as feminists are forgetting this definition, thus creating the need for intersectional feminism. Contrary to the idea of feminism that originated during the Enlightenment that only benefited white women, intersectional feminism is about creating equality for all women: women of color, disabled women, trans women, overweight women, mentally ill women, Muslim women, LGBT women and all other women.

The idea of being transgender (or transsexual, as it was known prior to the 90s) is no new idea. Some people are born in the wrong body while some people are born in the right body. However, we are seeing feminists use the idea of feminism to hate women who aren’t born women the same way that the Westboro Baptist Church uses Christianity to hate their fellow people.

We shouldn’t undermine any woman’s experience because some believe she once benefited from the time when she was a man. Feminists can’t be feminists until we fight for all women. Being born with a vagina doesn’t mean you’re a women, and being born with a penis doesn’t mean you’re a man.
